Could be the best except...
I see some here claim this is free. It definitely is not. It is $29 per machine, and yes, it DOES lock to your machine. If you are a single user with multiple machines you have to but it repeatedly, which is what I did. This used to be one of the few choices and its feature set is outstanding so I went with it. As I used it more and more I discovered a very significant hidden cost. It converts source audio files to wav and in the process the file size grows at least 15-fold!!! A one hour interview ends up being about 1GB!! I am at a point where I am doing a lot of interviews and I have had to buy a new hard drive just to be able to keep using this.
I've decided to abandon this and go with F5 which is free and uses mp3 files in their native state. I haven't accumulated experience with F5 at this point and if it isn't sufficient I will find something else, but it won't be Express Scribe.

This is the best.
It has a lot of features and it always works. The shortcuts make it to really the best because the shortcuts work globally even while you're working in other applications
And it's free! I've been using it for over five years and it's really great! Is never been a need for me to upgrade to the full paid version but if I ever need a full pro version I will definitely get this immediately.

I bought this, thinking that the constant crashing I was experiencing was due to the foot-pedal limitation (the free version works with only one brand).
I sincerely regret making the purchase, as the crashing persists even after unlocking the full version. My foot-pedal had nothing to do with the issue.
I've contacted the developer, but have yet to hear back from them. Caveat emptor!
